TENNIS, VOLLEYBALL TEAMS MAKE ROAD TRIPS

Bearcat tennis and volleyball were both on the road yesterday.

The tennis teams ventured to Jessievile, where they won a combined eight sets.

In doubles play the Bearcats and Lady Bearcats were dominant, winning six sets of eight with both the girls and boys winning three.

For the boys it was a sweep with Whit Kendall (shown in an earlier match) and Jaxon Harger taking a set through a 7-3 tiebreaker, Hunter Pollard and Gabe Draper winning a set 6-1, and Aiden Carter and Wesley Fonseca teaming up for a 6-3 set win.

Winning their sets for the girls were the Ferguson sisters, Emma and Anna, in a straight 6-0 set. Baylee Parnell and Harley Fitzjurls took a 6-3 set and Anna Ferguson teamed with Zoie Jones in another one that went to the tiebreaker, which was won by a count of 7-4.

Raelynn Franklin and Joslin Combs were unsuccessful in their set, as were Emma Ferguson and Fitzjurls, though they faced a mixed doubles pair of Lions.

In singles play it was Jessieville taking five of seven sets. Taylor Shaver took a 6-2 win in one of his three sets and Harger won a 6-4 set.
Combs lost to a male player and Angie Brown dropped two sets.

The tennis teams next outing will be against Maumelle Charter next Thursday at 4 p.m. at Marcelle Phillips City Park.

Volleyball

The Bearcat volleyball team played their second 3-1 match of the week but this time came out on the short end in Mayflower.

Though Mayflower is a conference opponent the game was a nonconference match.

Up next for the volleyball team is a trip to Charleston on Monday where the seventh grade, junior A, and varsity teams will be in action with a first serve at 4.
